Dried rosemary is convenient, while thyme is often less expensive.

butter

🥗Healthier: ghee

💰Cheaper: margarine

Ghee is lactose-free and adds a nutty flavor.

Preheat the oven to 220°C (428°F).

Peel and chop the potatoes into even-sized chunks.

Rinse the potatoes under cold water to remove excess starch.

Parboil the potatoes in salted water for about 10 minutes until slightly tender.

Drain the potatoes and let them steam dry for a few minutes.

Add olive oil to a roasting tray and heat in the oven until shimmering.

Carefully add the parboiled potatoes to the hot oil, ensuring they are well coated.

Sprinkle with sea salt and black pepper, then toss to combine.

Add crushed garlic cloves and fresh rosemary to the tray.

Roast in the oven for 40-50 minutes, turning occasionally, until golden and crispy.

Melt butter and mix with lemon zest, then drizzle over the potatoes before serving.
